Marc Anthony Slams Donald Trump and Swears Live in Front of Audience
Marc Anthony delivered another memorable performance on Saturday night as he sang and danced to his greatest hits at the Madison Square Garden, where he also took a shot at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
At MSG, before the show's end, the crowd and others saw Anthony speak out against Trump, according to Billboard.
Known for his powerful statements against illegal immigration, Trump was apparently someone that Anthony couldn't take. Despite the feel-good performances that the famed Puerto Rican dancer and singer gave, he didn't let the moment pass without making his own stance against the presidential candidate.
Kicking off the event, Anthony reportedly kissed the stage and said, "Man, it's good to be home." Singing hits from albums like "Todo a Su Tiempo" and "Contra la Corriente," Anthony delivered a phenomenal performance. Just before singing his last hit, the Daily Mail reports that he took the opportunity to slam Trump after seeing multicultural faces.
According to Billboard, Anthony started it off saying, "I really want you guys to know: I'm proud to be born and f---ing raised in New York City." He added, "I'm proud to be f---ing Puerto Rican."
"I'm Latino in the U.S.A. No matter where we come from, we're Latinos. We have to take care of each other. There's only one f---ing box to check," Anthony added before saying, "F--- Donald Trump!"
The artist went on to say, "And I wanna say, I want him to hear it in his house. Wake that motherf***** up! Mi Gente! (my people)."
The news comes as Trump continues to be vocal about illegal immigration, especially Mexican immigrants who he claimed to be mostly criminals.
"They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people," Trump said last summer.
The statements by the presidential candidate reportedly occurred when he was announcing his presidential bid, the news agency further revealed.
